I love this recipe for its simplicity. I chose to include oat bran for some extra soluble fibre (cholesterol lowering, stool softening, blood glucose stabilising) while the ground almond helps keep in moisture (cholesterol lowering too!). The bananas make it lovely and sweet so that sugar isn’t required in the recipe and honey/ jam isn’t needed when being eaten, which helps reduce ‘free sugars’ nicely. Perfect at breakfast time or on the go. For some more protein (aiming for 20 grams per meal) why not layer with some quark/ skyr/ Greek yoghurt & fruit e.g. berries and/ or enjoy a glass of milk or a large latte on the side.
